The KwaZulu-Natal education department has set an ambitious target of surpassing the outstanding results it achieved with the matric class of 2024 when this years cohort sits for the National Senior Certificate NSC exams.
The department held a media briefing at the Archie Gumede conference centre in Mayville, Durban, on its readiness for the 2025 matric exams.
Despite the KwaZulu-Natal class of 2024 emerging as the most improved and second-highest performing in the country with a pass rate of 89.5, MEC Sipho Hlomuka said celebrations for the department had to be brief as they quickly set their sights on boosting their performance beyond that result.
